The scarf if by Ben Vautier (aka "Ben"), a french artist (don't know if it's him on the pic). He makes paintings and drawings and things with words or sentences. The online shop is closed for now but you can find merchandising in a lot of decoration/souvenirs shops here.

Charming, Carol--taking us along on your exploits. I see many paintings in the works here, and fodder for additional posts. Amazing to see you making up for lost time with these Tour Eiffel pics! Cracks me up. Bonne Mercredi!

I know where the guy got the scarf from, but I am afraid the online shop has closed down. Bloody crisis. It's a site called ben-vend-tout by an artist called ben vautier. He had all sorts of marvellous objects, some of which were to be found it shops. A bientot! Adine

Thank you so much for getting your splendid watercolour to me so quickly! I thought perhaps that you would not have time to send it until you got back from Paris and that would have been fine, so I was happily surprised to find it in my mail on Monday. It is now framed and hanging with your Chateau Vaux le Vicomte; a lovely pairing. Thanks again, Charles

oh what a wonderful post. So much for you to paint here. I love the flower shop and the candy shop. The view of the Eiffel tower..I could go on. Won't tell you to have a good time as I see you already are. How long will you get to be there this trip? oh heck.. have fun. :))

Dear Carol...You don´t fool me at all...I know you don´t take a break in the Bar á Huîtres for that marvellous fruits de mer dish...You were there for the "biére á pression"(!);D;D;D;DJust kidding,it´s pure envy ;DBJXOXO

TWO BITES? Is Paris wasted on you???? Please come to your senses and indulge! As for the doggies and the windows...the only thing they're doing is putting their slobbery nose prints on the windows! Take it from one who knows....

Glad you are having a wonderful time in my city...where are you staying on rue Cler...address...?It was my home for many years when I studied there in art and architecture school...Have a great time chêre Carol...

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
